March 30 (Bloomberg) -- Enrico Cioni, a 36-year-old high school teacher who
lives near Venice, bought himself a red Alfa Romeo MiTo in 2010, figuring
the sporty little hatchback would be fun to drive and save on gas. Instead,
as Italy raised gas taxes 24 percent over the past year, his fuel spending
soared to 200 euros ($267) a month.
“I don’t have any alternative during the week, as I have to drive to reach
the two schools where I teach”, Cioni said by phone while driving from a
high school in Valdobbiadene, home to the Prosecco sparkling wine. “But I’
ve cut the use of my MiTo during weekends to save money.”
Austerity measures introduced by Prime Minister Mario Monti’s government
have pushed Italian gas prices to the highest in Europe, an average of 1.82
euros per liter, or $9.17 per gallon, with taxes accounting for about 54
percent of the total, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its April 2 issue.
It’s a profound shock for this country of car lovers, home of supercar
makers Ferrari SpA and Lamborghini SpA, where the rate of vehicle ownership
is among the highest in the world, and one that’s producing even more
economic pain, as Italians curtail travel and shun new-car purchases. | k********n
